Violent Passions ri Race
for Money

The alarming disease of this
country is nervous debility and
prostration. 1t goes under
many names but it is essen.
TALLY the same complaint.
Hospitals and private institu-
tons for nervous patients are
crowded. The average of life
IN the United States is de.
creaSing every year. Sudden
death from nervous collapse
among our business, profess
ional and public men are SO
frequent as to scarcely excite
remark The majority Of sui
cidcs, committed without APP
parent reason, or uudcr social.
cd "deprcssion of suirits' are
really prompted by nervous
prostrauon, which is a fruitful
source of insanity and crimo
with all their grief and horror.
These facts are startling;
tHcy threaten the very life of
"a nation; they assaij the
/ eprings of its power and pros
perity; they wreck mmhood's
strength and woman'suScful-
ness and beauty.
Everyone should know the
causes. What are they? The
answer is easy and terribly
plain Cur vicious personal
habits; our careless and lawlcss
eating and drinking; the in
tense mental and physical
strain arising from our mad
race after money, position and
influence; the fears and strug-
gles OF poverty; the use of mar
cotlcs and stimulants; urfash-
ion of turning day into night
and night into day; and, brief
ly, our desperate willingness to
pay any price tor an hours
pleasure or success. SO we
burn life's candle at both ends
and fill the lunatic asylums
and the graveyards.
The disease from which we
suilecr and die is, in plain Eng
fish, nervous dyspepsia, as it
is seated IN the nerves and in
the organs Of digestion assinl-
ilation and nutrition. Healthy
digestion being impedcd or de-
stroyed, the whole body,ncrves
included, is literally starved;
even when there is no enact
alton to tell the sad story,
Nervous prostratlon sends
, out its warnings headache
in the morning; a persistent
, duh hcavlncSs or aching at the
base Of the brain; wakcfulGcss;
. loss of appetite and disgust

BY THE SEA-SHORE.
An OH Mans Rcveries While watchin.
the Waters of the Mighty OCEAN

An OH Mans Rcveries While watching
the Waters of the Mighty Ocean.
One day, when tho ocean was at rest,
and its waters sheenel aud spRrkled nm
der the summer sun, says NJ Quad in the
Detroit F'Ce r. eSs, an old man walked upon
the sandy shore and sat down in the shade
OF rock, 10 b9 alone by himself. Above
him was tho blue canopy through which
tho eyes OF living men have never peno-
trated-at his feot the waters which had
rolled across u world to lap at the sandy
shores Of a continent
Aud thore was tapping, and tapping,
aud growing, and a sobbing as the wa
ters lavcd the sand and fell back to break
into patches Of foam and go swirling
along tho shore, never to rest And tho
old man foil into rcvcry, aud whispered
70 himself;
ut is like the life Of a child-sunshine,
tears, griefs, complaints. He, like the
ocean may seem TO sleep, but there is no
rest The pulses never cease their trob-
bing-the heart never stops beating until
death comcs."
Then a cloud roso slowly out OF the sra
and climbed iato tho heavens, and tho
waters fre'te1 and foamed and dashed
about Along the sands tho tapping and
grieving changed 10 an angry rush to
reach higher point, an tho great patches
OF foam which floated away were no
longer OF snowy white And tho old IN IN
whispered:
at Is like the life Of man-toil, trouble,
sorrow, adverse struggles. He is the
shore on which the ever-changing ocean
OF life is finglng its tide, and he, like tho
shore, must be solid and steadfast."
And again the sky cleared, the vcxcd
waters were smoothed by the hand of
peace, and the summer sun tipped each
wavelet with an edge of gold. And along
the sand there was tapping and a lap
ping, and the waters sobbcd and grieved
again as they fell back to rest for mo-
ment. Then tho foam drifts were as
white and pure as the mantle Of an angel,
and the tide kissed them tonderly as it
bore them away. And the old man whis-
pered:
at is like the last days OF an old man
one who has been ennobled by faith
streng hened by love-purified by forgive
ness. His sun Of life goes down in a bluzs
OF glory; his pulse sinks TO rest as the
voxed waters have grown quiet; the lap
ping OF the waters are the whispers of
death; the sobbing and the grievlng are
the tears OF those who will never see hun
more on earth"
And as he closed his eyes and slcpt, or
seemed to sleep, n child came down to the
shore to look with wondering eyes upon
tho calm aud glorious sea-to placs it's
hand conhdingly upon that OF him who
telt II MOTTO whisper in the ear OF him
who heard no sound:
AM the foam-drifts-white and pure.
and without faint are the souls of thoss
who have lived in the faith and d led pure
IN heart, drifting into the placid ocean of
tho great and grand hereaftor.n
